I understand that, Doc, but we also must have the mind open enough to allow that an extraterrestrial species may be unlike us enough that we wouldn't even recognize it as being alive. Even an intelligent species.
What if they would have life spans in the tens of thousands of years instead of in the hundreds of years? Would they really be moving as fast as we do? What if they don't even move physically at all but only in some sidereal fashion.
The possibilities are endless in an infinite universe.

Agree.

What Fun!!

Let us HOPE that we can manage to Communicate with "Whoever's Out There," 'cause we could Learn SO MUCH!

For a LOT of "Philosophical/Biological/Sociological" Reasons,--WE NEED an "External Intelligence!"

We NEED to disrupt the "Arrogance of" our "Uniqueness!"
